| 500 SEL opinions Hi all, I am new to this forum, I usually hang out in the 124 forum, as my plan has been to get a nice 124, but in my searching I came across and interesting 140 and wanted to get some of your thoughts. I did a search and found most of the common problem area's but wanted to see what people thought about buying this car. It is a silver/Black 1992 500SEL with 179,000 miles. It was some kind of company car and it has a boat load of service records. The owner got a pre-sale inspection and the car has some issues. It needs two auxiliary fans, the muffler is rusty(not loud yet)and then some cosmetic stuff, rear head rest doesn't work, peice of wood trim is missing, no lighter, some paint flaking at the rear license plate, I believe a peice of exterior trim is missing. Anyway he only wants $6500 for the car, which I thougt was really low for so much car with a good service history. I am thinking it would be a fun car to blow around town in. I can barely buy a 300E with high miles for that price. Any thoughts? Thanks. |
